The Workers’ Compensation Act and the Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) are creating more situations where employers must deal with performance or discipline issues for employees returning from medical leave. This program will discuss when and how employees can be lawfully disciplined and review retaliation issues facing employers who discipline or discharge employees incorrectly. In addition, it will discuss what steps you should take to insure that you are hiring the best candidate for an available position. Presenters will be Ronald Andrykovitch, labor and employment attorney and Deputy Chair of the Labor and Employment Group, and Valerie Faeth, director at Cohen & Grigsby.
